Legendary Free Kick Moments 2024

Yeah, I said to him, obviously for a joke, but if he scored it's going to be 4-0 for me. And what a start this is for Manchester City. It is the perfect start. Inside two minutes. The Bernabéu is silenced. Questions over Lunen. But it's the nightmare start for Real Madrid. Short by Thielemans and then curved brilliantly by Maxime de Kuyper. What a set-up, what a finish. A first international goal for de Kuyper. It's Ulise. Well taken. Wonderful goal from Michael Ulise for Bayern. A special free-kick. A special talent. And a player already in the Bundesliga making a huge impact. Maddison. Oh yes. Not scoring against Aston Villa. And he's wrapped up the win. And it's Garcia. It's the man eyeing the target here. Taken by Garcia. Oh, that's stunning. That is quite the way to score your first goal for Bayern Leverkusen. It was delightful by Garcia. It's awkward, it's fabulous. It's absolutely sensational. What a goal that is. From Hennes Wolff. His first in Major League Soccer. He's a screamer. Thousand travelling Czech supporters willing this into the back of the net. And they've equalised. What a free-kick. And Sparta Prague, the Czech champions, are back on level terms. Brilliant strike. It's going to be Harry Kane. There it is. Harry Kane has done it again. 33 now. In his first Bundesliga season. Questions being asked. A shrug at the shoulder from Frederic Reneau. But Bayern decided. Kraki. And he does kill home. What a sensational free-kick. Alex Medet was left rooted to the spot. And it is the captain who finds a way back for Fiorentina. Oh, it's brilliant. Oh, my word. That is a sensational free-kick. Piragis was excellent in its own right. When he first got into European football with Benfica, he only played half a season there. But he did impress with shots from distance. Fernandes. Like that. Absolutely like that. Good free-kick. You don't see so many of them these days. Come on, it's absolutely sublime. Now then. What an opportunity. It's Foden. Oh, magnificent. Stopping time. Manchester City restore their advantage. That's a shock in the world. Because Sami Olo has disconnected himself from concept. Watch. He wants Frontalaria in the box. He's amazing. He has a special quality, as we said. Rasputori with the free-kick. Napoli are level. And Giacomo Rasputori has absolutely pure work. Armstrong tried to place it. It is Stuart Armstrong. Oh, my goodness me. Pick that one out. That is beautiful from Stuart Armstrong. And here's Shaqiri. Oh, beautifully done. Xherdan Shaqiri bent it into the far corner. The first goal, this John O'Shea-led side has conceded in their two games. That is the requestion mark over Gavin Mazzutti because it has gone into the side of the net. They found themselves behind after 17 minutes. Free-kick from Gaten Perry over the goalkeeper. Over the defender on the line and into the top corner. A smashing finish from Perry. Six of their last seven goals. It's Cocteau. It's glorious. And it's a night for the Turkey Air Internationals. It's York. Raheem Sterling kind of sums up his season. A fantastic finish from Sterling at Chelsea are level. Chelsea will beat Alexander-Arnold. First Bundesliga goal. Has he got anything? That is a fabulous, fabulous goal to put Leverkusen back to 1-1. He took it and he scored it in stunning style. What a hit. So extra time and possibly penalties still to come. Have to add to that tally and they have done in quite sensational fashion. Quite incredible. No wonder he's smiling. William Brandt. Wonderful. Glorious. Sumptuous. And the pressure tells. Brandt scores and Dortmund lead. Messi. Up. Vlaovic. Marvellous. Dušan Vlaovic on the pitch. Vlaovic. He does. And look it is. A beauty. Once again. And look it is. The saviour. He's not Manzoro. The mask of Zoro. He gets it. A fourth goal for James Sheffield. It's in and it's deflected and it's in. Certainly wasn't in the script, was it? From an Arsenal perspective. Is it going to be Forsberg over this? It will be, you know. Oh and he scores! Emil Forsberg often running in the Bundesliga this season. 77 minutes and this is going to happen. Tremendous goal from Álvaro Yaló. He sent it to save and the action was the same. Tremendous free kick. Zamora. They're standing over it. Here goes Zamora! Fabulous! And Zamora has pulled a rabbit out of the hat. His first of the season. Well worth the wait. Here goes Milik! Wonderful goal and he's set up a grandstand finale here at the Dolaner. There are seven minutes to be played. Cromado hits it. Oh superb! He does what he does best. Beefer's a left fitter but it will be Golovkin. And it's Alexander Gop into the back of the net. A tough one from the Russian. And Monaco have the lead. Well done. Chipped in by Salamachus! And it's gone all the way in. Tim and Bologna have a lifeline and it's thanks to Alex. Aldo that we've seen so far. He's done it again! He is unreal! That was a shot from that man Bebe! Bebe blistering long. It's Chokin! Oh! That's it! That red card has really clipped their wings. Here's the free kick from Filip! Oh! What a fantastic hit! Atabolu routed to the spot and that is the breakthrough they were after. The captain steps up. To the left of Fernandez to the right of Santi Rodriguez. Rodriguez over the wall and it's to the back of the net from Santi Rodriguez who demands from missing a Gilted chance and draws New York City level. Alex Iwobi amended to his French a priori but Doughty went low with a free kick. 3-2 from Alfie Doughty but... Now Bester with his free kick. Oh my goodness! Now they have off the count and in style. Bester living up to his name in the first half. Free kick Bester this time reproduces with another moment of magic. Brilliant from Bester. Well this is... To be on guard extends Indonesia space to be flipped in. The timing of the run the dropping of the defenders massive man on the near side he has got to look right across that line. Well what an effort that was. Did it go in? To me it looked like it didn't. The goal I believe has been given. Well that caught everybody by surprise. The goal's been given for Maldini. It's Maldini! It's a beauty! Did that cross the line? Yes it did. What a strike by Daniel Maldini. He's been in such good form recently two goals and an assist in his last three games and this goal is an absolute... For most fans here today it's the last time they'll see Marco Reus play in person in yellow and black. 2006 released as a youth player with a shattered dream he'd return not long after.
